Dagh bhai what do you mean paste of fresh coconut?
Grinding it yourself???

And Muniya

some achar to it????

I dun eat out...so i dun really know the restayrant version of this dish. I'd make it the way Daagh suggested except i use my own achari masala that is...saunf, kalonji, zeera n methi dana. (fennel seeds, black onion seeds, cumin n fenugreek seeds)

Basically these ingredients are added to any veggies or fruits of choice like carrots mangoes, chillies etc. with oil n seasoning n are kept in sun/warm place to turn it into achaar. so heating this on flame would result in the same flavour.

Re: Recipe Needed: Alloo Achari

the above combinatrion of spices also come in packets...they're called 'Panchpuran'(five spices) or achaar masala....you can add crushed red chillies, salt and a pinch of amchoor powder or crushed green mango for the perfect achaar flavor in the achari aloo dish.

Re: Recipe Needed: Alloo Achari

that's how i cook my aaloo achari ( my aunt's recipe) , panchpuran masala a bit + little chopped onion + very little tomato + little oil + potatoes + little water + salt + crushed read pepper + curry leaves , put all in pressure cooker , let the whistle run for 1-2 min and it's ready ..........taste great ( i don't like achar itself in aalloo)
